Whats happening about the vcash, do I get it back as there was no option for a tie?
Its been settled and every single person has lost it all !
Damn, thats most of my vcash gone.
yes, but it was lack of intent in the bowling/fielding that was crap. dhoni should be appealing there, he was limp as captain today, fielders should have been going for those chances, the only reason they were dropped is because they were half hearted efforts.
india do have a team good enough to win, the bowling is not great but the batting is good enough to make up for it providing the field contributes. They're not good enough to simply show up for half the game and win. (first 40 overs of batting and last 10 overs of bowling)
But at the end of the day they didn't take the simple catches so they didn't deserve the wickets and the fact that they were easy catches makes the chances even more un-deserved. And India weren't unlucky they just bowled poorly and didn't take easy chances. So India had chances to catch strauss but they didn't, there was no luck involved in that.
Its the same when an edge go's for four were 1st slip would normally be, the bowler defeated the batsmen by getting an edge but the fielder wasn't there so he doesn't deserve the wicket and it's tough on the bowler, just the same as a dropped catch, if the fielder doesn't catch the ball the team doesn't deserve the wicket. And if Dhoni didn't appeal why should India get the wicket? Appealing is part of getting the wicket and Dhoni failed to do so.
And I wasn't talking about the LBW or edge, I just made the point about the dropped catches. Stop blaming India not winning the match on decisions not going their way.
You still have 100.
Can't believe the fact Mirpur has 2 QF games while India as a whole has only 1 in Motera . India playing NZL in Premadasa , Colombo should they top the group and NZL finish fourth is no cakewalk for India after what happened there 12 months before . Styris beat India by 6 runs while Ross edged them by 1 run
And India can absolutely win the WC with this bowling. There's no 2007 Australia out there. Everyone's got glaring holes.
This is cause of the pre-seedings done prior to the World Cup.
You have lost it.
Wow , never thought it to be this way round , so does that mean finishing 1st is as good as finishing 4th ?? Or is it just the venues that can be altered ??
No. I'm just not overreacting.
